UPMC – Altoona is listed as running intensive outpatient and outpatient care. Structured outpatient runs to a schedule while people return home in the evening. A proper assessment sets the level rather than leaving it to guesswork, and it is worth asking for one explicitly.

Addiction and mental health are worked on at the same time here. Ask directly about session times and frequency, as those details decide whether someone can realistically attend.

UPMC – Altoona Address, Location and Contact Information

You will find this provider at 500 East Chestnut Avenue, Altoona, Pennsylvania, 16601. The city lies within Blair County. The catchment reaches beyond the city itself. How someone gets there matters more than it sounds: travel is one of the commonest reasons a course of treatment stops partway.

Phone ahead about parking, access and what the first appointment covers. Where travel is difficult, ask whether an initial appointment can be held remotely. Reception hours vary, so a call that goes unanswered once is worth repeating rather than treating as a dead end.

How Much Does Treatment at UPMC – Altoona Cost?

Self-pay rehab in Pennsylvania commonly costs $6,000 to $28,000 a month for residential treatment, $7,500 to $14,000 a month for a partial hospitalization program, $3,000 to $10,000 a month for an intensive outpatient program and $1,200 to $5,000 a month for standard outpatient care. RehabSeekers did not find a price list for UPMC when this page was written. The state figures give a sense of scale, nothing more.

A fee at UPMC would normally be expected to include accommodation, meals, the intake assessment, group therapy and individual counseling. That expectation comes from how programs are usually priced, not from the facility. Call UPMC for a breakdown.

Very friendly staff.

Patty Bigelow7 months ago

Son was there and was released and was not near ready to get out, they don't take time, they medicate and release and don't care of the effects that their actions have on the family members.

★☆☆☆☆
Miranda Knisely9 months ago

Rude disrespectful staff. Medically negligent to patients

★☆☆☆☆
Dan10 months ago

They advertise walk-in hours, only to tell you that you can't see anyone because you're a walk-in. Such a waste of time that it actually felt like a practical joke. Places like these are a depressing reminder of how… much of a joke the system has become.

★☆☆☆☆
Michael Feather2 years ago

I used to think this place was cool until today. I tried to get an appointment to schedule and get in and find out that you have to walk in. You know the problem with that is I'm not some lazy SOB who's on SSID and have… a job so some of us actually need appointments. Thanks a lot great job I'll go find somebody who's more in tune

★☆☆☆☆
Kindly Ent3 years ago

If I could give zero stars I would. This facility is a Christian ministry masquerading as a legitimate mental health office. My first visit, there was a Gideon's Bible in the mental health literature. My visit with a… therapist, her office was covered in Bible verses and Christian aphorisms. The final straw was the 700 Club playing in the waiting room. This is not a neutral space that is patient-oriented or medically professional. You will only feel welcome here if you are an Evangelical Christian. If you want real mental health services, I advise you search elsewhere.

The groups discussed everything I needed to hear at the time. I am very grateful to the staff for their positive attitudes, patience, and understanding. I am glad to have had that break to recover and think.

If you’re seeking help I promise you this is far from it!! Made psychiatrist appointment 4 months ahead they rescheduled me another 3 months ahead ! They keep pushing and rescheduling making me feel even worse I just… want to get my life on track these people do nothing

★★★★★
Chris Costello3 years ago

The bottom line is if you need help and you want help you got to be willing to get help I showed up here from New York had to completely rearrange everything in my life from the ground up and I found this facility to be… very helpful and getting me doctors and helping me find support when I didn't know where to look this place comes highly recommended.

the doctor is fantastic when you can see him but they keep rescheduling my appointments which isn't helping. I know others can see him idk how many see compared to being rescheduling. the therapy is good.
